Carmody, Brendan – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Religious Education has long been part of Zambia's primary and secondary education curriculum. Though it contains a social justice section, it has been weakly socially transformative. This could be seen to be a major challenge today if Religious Education is to be educational. With a swiftly expanding social situation placing increasing numbers at…

Plater, Mark – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
The 2018 Religious Education Council of England and Wales' review of Religious Education proposes that the subject should be reframed as Religion & Worldviews. Although follow-up studies have explored this idea in some depth, comparatively little thought has been given to the exploration of "personal" worldviews. This paper explores…

Abdalla, Mohamad; Chown, Dylan; Memon, Nadeem – Journal of Religious Education, 2022
This paper responds to calls for renewal in Islamic schooling and education. In doing so, it provides insight into educators' views on Islamic Studies (IS) in five Australian Islamic schools, with a focus on senior years (years 10, 11 and 12). The study offers a 'dialogic alternative' of 'speaking with' rather than 'speaking for' educators in…

Milerski, Boguslaw; Zielinski, Tadeusz J. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Under Communism, the Catholic Church in Poland played the role of guarantor of preserving the national traditions and defender of freedom. Such was one of reasons for removing religion from the state school curriculum by the government of Poland in 1961. The political transformation of 1989 changed the concept of the Polish state. Religion as a…

Madden, Rina; Bernasconi, Gina; Larkins, Geraldine; Tolan, Bernadette; Fumei, Paul; Taylor, Anne – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
A recontextualising approach in religious education has been adopted in the newly revised religious education curricula of the four dioceses in Victoria: the dioceses of Melbourne, Ballarat, Sandhurst and Sale. This approach requires a radical change to the teacher's role from knowledge transmission to one which supports students to grapple with…

Gates, Brian – Journal of Religious Education, 2021
Religious Education (RE) is more than a single curriculum subject and research should give more attention to that fact. Drawing on a lifetime's engagement with RE, this article identifies ten topics that deserve urgent pursuit if the interests of children and young people are to be more effectively understood and addressed. They begin with a…

Aukland, Knut – British Journal of Religious Education, 2022
In this article I explore the research-practice gap in RE with a unique dataset: The communication by teachers, and between teachers and researchers in a Norwegian Facebook group for RE teachers. Posts and comments in the group reflect that teachers largely communicate a practical form of knowledge with little engagement with research. At the same…

Khalili, Samaneh; Kallioniemi, Arto; Bagheri Noaparast, Khosrow – British Journal of Religious Education, 2022
This article aims to identify and compare the characteristics of human agency in liberal and Islamic religious education, comparing Iran as a religious context influenced by Islamic state ideology with Finland as a liberal context and a secular state ideology. This comparison will be accomplished by document analysis of the national curricula for…

Wiens, Peter D.; Hightower, Andromeda; Yoder, Paul J.; Chou, Annie – British Journal of Religious Education, 2022
Private Christian schools in North America endeavour to provide an educational experience that integrates religious and academic training for their preK-12 students. The integration of faith and academics has been studied in higher education institutions in North America, but not substantially in preK-12 schools. This study uses the lens of…

Foley, Toni; Dinan-Thompson, Maree; Caltabiano, Nerina – Journal of Religious Education, 2020
This paper explores the question, "What is the individual's experience of interreligious learning and teaching?" It utilises hermeneutic phenomenology to interpret the rich and hidden meanings of lived experiences. van Manen's (Phenomenology of practice: meaning-giving methods in phenomenological research and writing.

Belánová, Andrea – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
The article concerns school chaplains in Czech church schools. Drawing on interviews and non-participant field observations, I examine, through an applied thematic analysis, how the chaplains participate in the negotiation of the church school ethos with other important actors in everyday interactions. This study argues that Czech school chaplains…

Franken, Leni; Loobuyck, Patrick – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
Since 2009, there is a discussion about how RE should be organised in state and 'private' (mainly Catholic) schools in Flanders. Especially the proposal to introduce non-denominational and integrative RE for all pupils in all schools stimulated the debate. More than ten years later, the RE system, which is based on (semi-)confessional and in state…

Von Der Lippe, Marie – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
What are controversial issues? Who decides whether something is controversial, and how does it affect how a subject is taught whether a topic is presented as either controversial or not so? Although there has long been a lively debate within educational research on what criteria should be used to determine whether or not an issue is controversial,…

Kieran, P.; Mc Donagh, J. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
In Ireland primary RE is a fractured, contested, complex and changing territory devoid of a common language and characterised by a proliferation of syllabi and curricula generated for increasingly diverse school types. For centuries the dynamic decolonising process has led to a questioning of former orthodoxies and an attempted de-linking of the…

Winkler, Kathrin; Scholz, Stefan – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
This paper deals with the disclosure of subaltern thinking in current German-language textbooks for religious education. For the hermeneutical framing of this analysis, the approach of a postcolonial reading is particularly profitable. Obvious hierarchical relationships from clearly up and down can consequently be made visible and their presumed…
